The helium nucleus or particle is a very tightly bound

Chapter , Problem 64

(choose chapter or problem)

The helium nucleus or particle is a very tightly bound system. Nuclei with where is an integer (for example, and ), can be modeled as agglomerates of particles. (a) Use this model to estimate the binding energy of a pair of particles from the atomic masses of and Assume that the four particles in form a regular tetrahedron that has one particle at each vertex. (b) From the result obtained in Part (a) determine, on the basis of the model, the binding energy of and compare your result with the result obtained from the atomic mass of
